Salute

The Olympics are held every four years and are used as a global stage for many thousands of sportsmen and women who come from many different countries around the world to demonstrate their abilities ranging from running to rowing. In theory, the Olympic Games are supposed to be free from any politics and be purely about the athlete’s competition and celebrations. It is supposed to be non-gender, non-religion and non-race biased to show the accomplishment of the athletes that compete. Sporting officials

In a world that appropriates and change every symbol until it’s reduced to a sad, emojified shadow of its former self, how will the raised fist salute face retain its intensity? Once an image of unity, has morphed into a nebulous anything. The raised fist has become shorthand for indignation, whether sincere or ironic, playful or deadly serious. It’s easily found on soapy primetime TV, comedy shows as on a smartphone keyboard. Once a sign of solidarity for the black civil rights movement, the raised

Officers of all rank. In this essay, I will be writing about the importance of salutes, standing at the correct position when talking to someone higher ranking than yourself, using proper language when talking to someone of a higher rank, where you should walk when walking with someone of a higher rank, as well as other customs and courtesies you find throughout the army and all other branches. A custom is an

Customs and Courtesies As soldiers we are taught to live the seven Army values defining the basics of what a soldier is all about. One of those being respect. Relying on the golden rule, “How we consider others reflects upon each of us, both personally and as a professional organization.” I believe this is an extremely important value to live by each and every day. As a soldier I pledged to treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same. Respect is what allows us to

like a law. A courtesy is a way of displaying good manners and politeness when dealing with other people. Military courtesy conveys respect both up and down the chain of command. One commonly recognized custom and courtesy is the military salute. The salute has been an exchange of greetings since the age of chivalry. During these ages the knights were mounted with steel armor that covered their body completely

What were the 918th external and internal problems before General Savage? There is a desperate situation with the 918th? There was a ton of problems that plagued the 918th such as poor discipline, no military courtesy (doesn’t salute in the beginning), mismatched uniforms (One guy is dressed but not in all of the correct uniform), excessive drinking (beginning everyone was drunk), hardly any security and disrespect for authority but the biggest issue internally was the men themselves. Not that they

Military courtesies include correct forms of address like; Sir, and Ma'am, and when each should be used; the salute, and standing at attention, proper wear of military covers, and the rules for behavior in different ceremonies.

National Honor Society, Kitty Hawk Members are held to a higher standard of excellence, both professional and academic. These pledges are without a doubt up to this rigorous challenge. Neessen moves to the center of the formation, faces the pledges, salutes with the saber/riffle and says Neessen: It is better to deserve honors and not receive them, than to have honors and not deserve them. Neessen joins Webb off to the side. Emcee: Will Major Richards please come forward Emcee: Cadet (first cadet), front

The argument of being made to stand and say the pledge has become a hot topic. People believe that the portion of “Under God” is unconstitutional and should be taken out. However there are also people who believe that everyone should say the pledge to their country. There is deep and rich history on the pledge itself. The pledge should still be said in public schools to keep a sense of patriotism in the country. First off the history of the pledge started about 120 years ago. The pledge was invented
